What is Cisco Excess Refurbished?

Have you heard of Cisco Excess Refurbished Product? Cisco Excess is a specially designated product suite offered by Cisco so customers can purchase Cisco-approved used equipment more efficiently. Only a handful of companies have this customer relationship with Cisco, and V3 is the largest provider of Cisco Excess products in the United States.

 

What is Cisco Excess Refurbished?

The Cisco Excess offering is product that is surplus to Cisco’s requirements and offered through a select group of Excess Refurbished Customers (ahem, like V3). These companies are permitted to resell Excess within the secondary market and are not traditional Cisco Authorized Partners.

 

What Separates Cisco Excess from Used & Refurbished Equipment?

• Used inventory that includes a valid version of the IOS loaded and relicensed by Cisco
• Identified by the –WS Part Number, Cisco Excess labelling on the package, and a sticker on the physical product itself
• Fully functional, but may include minor cosmetic imperfections and/or an older OS version as compared to remanufactured (-RF) units
• Eligible for Cisco Smart Net Total Care Service, and subject to Cisco’s Smart Net policies. Smart Net must be purchased through a Cisco Authorized Partner
• Product that is surplus to Cisco's authorized channel requirements and liquidated on to the open market as part of their Circular Economy initiatives
